FRESH-AIR GARMENT.

Application filed Gctoher 22, 1823.

This invention relates to garments of a type worn in open air schools, the object of the present invention being to provide an overgarment of this type having certain novel and advantageous features hereinafter set forth.

In the attached drawings:

Figure 1, illustrates the garment as worn;

Fig. 2, is a front view of the upper or jacket portion of the garment with the bib portion down, and r Fig. 3, is a front view of the garment including the trousers with the bib portion of the jacket secured to place at the neck.

With reference to the drawings, the garment, which prefe ably is of wool and of such wei 'ht as to afford ample protection as an overgarment comprises a jacket portion 1 and separable trousers 2. The trousers 2 are of the usual form and preferably of such length as to permit their being tucked into the top of woolen stockings, as clearly illustrated in Fig. 1.

The upper or jacket portion 1 of the garment comprises a hood 3 adapted to be tied at the neck by a cord or tape 4. The body of the jacket is divided at the front from the neck to a point 5 somewhat above the bottom edge of the jacket, and the parts are held together at the neck by the aforesaid tape 4.

Extending across the bottom of the acket at the front and secured to the garment along the lower edge 6 and the side edges 7, 7, is a piece of material 8, preferably the same as the material from which the body of the j ackct is made, said piece comprising an elongated flap 9 whch extends from the upper edge of the piece 8 and is provided Serial No. 670,059.

piece 8 is also secured to the bocy of the garment by a perpendicular line of stitches 12 which divides the lower part of the pocket formed by the piece 8 into halves into which the hands of the pupil may be stuffed, as indicated in 1.

The flap 9 of the piece 8,. as will be apparent, not only affords double protection at the front of the garment but also provides a doubie security at the neck, while the lower part of the bib portion 89 constitutes pockets.

As clearly illustrated, the garn'ient, when the tapes 4- are untied, is open at the front from the tip of the hood to the point 5 near the bottom of the garment, making the garment an extremely easy one to put on and remove. The garment, also, while an effi cient one is extremely simple to manufacture.

I claim:

A garn'ient comprising a jacket open at the front from the neck to a point short of the bottom edge of the jacket, a piece of material extending across the front and bottom of the jacket and secured at the side edges and bottom to form a pocket, said piece being secured at the center to the body of the garment whereby the said pocket is divided, and a flap extending from the said piece upwardly and around the neck of the garment.

ADA MAE SIMPSON.
